As you journey to the top of the Petrin Observation Tower located on Petrin Hill in the Czech Republic, you can see for miles across the landscape and get an actual feel of how big Prague is. There are different views from the tower and after you take a picture or two of the surrounding area, you can join them altogether to see the entire city.
The observation tower was built in 1891 and stands at about sixty meters high. Add this to the fact that Petrin Hill is 318 meters above the city and you can understand why you get such an amazing view of Prague in the Czech Republic. To get to this viewing platform, you must climb two hundred and ninety-nine steps but once you reach this point you can see across the city of Prague for about...
... one hundred and fifty kilometers on a clear day.
Prague city is the capital of the Czech Republic with a total population of about 1.2 million and is home to the Vitava River that meanders its way through the city.
